CLASSIFIED SESSION
| 1215 | DARPA Initiatives Dr. Joe Mangano, Program Manager, Advanced Lithography Program, Microsystems Technology Office |
|
1. Describe your laser program including its progress to date and its future plans as well as its relevance to the Air Force. 2. Provide examples of Air Force operational needs that could possibly bemet by low-and/or medium-power lasers. |
|
| 1315 | Lockheed Martin Laser Efforts Mr. Tom Burris, Lead Systems Engineer, Directed Energy Program, Lockheed Martin |
|
1. Describe fairly near-term (5 years or less) laser DEW concepts that address Air Force missions. Include effectiveness for Air Force missions and CONOPS thoughts. To this end, the workshop participants do not need details about the technology, per se. These missions could involve low-to-medium-power lasers (e.g., 10 or 10's of kW power levels). NOTE: HEL-JTO, MDA, AFRL, MIT/LL, DARPA HELLADS, Army SMDC, Navy ONR, ACC and General Atomics have already provided briefings. The workshop participants would prefer that the briefing not be proprietary since a summary of the briefing will go into a National Academy document. The presentation can be up to the Secret level. |
